Chapter 263: Vitality

The Twin-Blade Zombie's body was originally surging with thick corpse power, giving one a feeling of gloom, terror, and deathly stillness; yet now, Meng Yifan sensed a faint, almost imperceptible trace of vitality in the Twin-Blade Zombie's belly.

This trace of vitality was extremely weak, but it was truly existent, and it was silently changing the Twin-Blade Zombie's body.

However, relative to the Twin-Blade Zombie's body, this trace of vitality was far too weak, so the speed of change was extremely slow.

If not for Meng Yifan's mental connection with the Twin-Blade Zombie, he would have been completely unable to perceive this insignificant change.

"I understand," Meng Yifan thought, his heart stirring.

Thunder Tribulation is the destructive power of Heaven and Earth, the nemesis of Yin Soul and Zombie-type special lifeforms with Yin Attribute, because they were never meant to exist in this world.

The laws of Heaven and Earth use Thunder Tribulation to eliminate Yin Souls and Zombies, but the Dao is fifty, the Heaven evolves forty-nine, leaving one line of vitality.

Surviving the Thunder Tribulation is a calamity; if one cannot pass it, one must be completely destroyed, but if one endures it, it is a rebirth.

In the process of undergoing the tribulation, Zombies use the power of the Thunder Tribulation to re-temper their bodies, moving from death to life, and their originally dead bodies radiate new vitality.

Having passed the Thunder Tribulation, a Zombie not only sees their strength advance by leaps and bounds, but their intelligence also rises significantly, truly becoming a new type of creature.

Zombies below the Third Grade can only be considered string puppets, requiring Meng Yifan to use Spiritual Power to command them in battle, but once they break through to the Fourth Grade, Meng Yifan only needs to give a single order and they can fight autonomously, even learning martial arts and Yin Attribute Immortal Cultivation Technique.

If a Zombie continues to advance, they can even become a Corpse Immortal; this is the path of advancement unique to Zombies, though this path is destined to be extremely rugged, with calamities at every step, much harder than for human cultivators to attain the Dao and become immortals.

"Haha, continue." Meng Yifan was in high spirits; holding the electric baton, his body flickered, and he thrust it toward the other two big-guy Zombies as well.

"Awoo! Awoo!" Those two Zombies were also shocked until their whole bodies trembled, letting out bursts of shrill, miserable screams, and their bellies were also shocked until the skin split and flesh tore, with a trace of weak vitality gestating within the charred skin and flesh.

Haste makes waste; Meng Yifan did not shock them continuously, giving them time to recover to avoid using too much force and directly damaging their source, which would be more trouble than it was worth.

"Lord Meng, the Zombie Body has thick skin and flesh, so a shock is just a bit uncomfortable, but we are Yin Soul Body, which is very fragile. The Thunder released by your electric baton is too strong; I am worried that it will shock me until my soul flies away and scatters," Jiang Tian said anxiously.

Meng Yifan smiled and said, "Don't worry, this electric baton of mine can adjust its settings. For the Zombies, I turned it directly to the highest setting, but for you two, we can start from a low setting to give you a process of adaptation."

Jiang Tian had not expected Meng Yifan to be so thoughtful; there was no other way, so he could only bite the bullet and let Meng Yifan poke him with the electric baton.

"Ah! It hurts! Lord, that's enough, help me!" Jiang Tian's soul body trembled, and streaks of electric sparks enveloped his body, causing him to cry out in pain and beg for mercy repeatedly.

Meng Yifan was a bit of a trickster; when shocking Jiang Tian, although he used a low setting, he didn't let go once the electric baton made contact, continuing to discharge. After three seconds, Meng Yifan pulled the electric baton away and carefully examined the changes in Jiang Tian's soul body.

Under the electric shock, Jiang Tian's Yin Soul Body was like ice and snow under the scorching sun; starting from the point of contact, a large chunk melted, looking truly ghastly.

However, Meng Yifan used his Spiritual Power to envelop Jiang Tian's soul body and keenly discovered that in this process, Jiang Tian's Yin Soul Body was also undergoing a magical change.

The core of Jiang Tian's soul body was a wisp of Yin Soul fire; this kind of Yin Soul fire was pitch-black overall, emitting a cold aura, but now, as it suffered the electric shock, a wisp of purple electric light slowly emerged on his Yin Soul fire, appearing very magical.

"Eh!" Zhang Butou and Jiang Tian were both Ghost Generals, and he also discovered the change in Jiang Tian's soul body, which made him very tempted. The process of being shocked must be extremely uncomfortable, but for the Yin Soul Body, it had incredible benefits. In order to advance to the Fourth Grade and regain a new life, no matter how painful or bitter, Zhang Butou was willing to endure it.

"Lord Meng, come shock me," Zhang Butou said.

"Haha, you, you'll have to wait a bit longer. My electric baton is out of power; I have to go charge it first before I can shock you," Meng Yifan teased with a laugh.

Just a moment ago, when he asked them to step forward voluntarily, not one was willing; now that they saw the benefits, they were actively requesting to be shocked. Unfortunately, the electric baton was out of power, so they would have to wait for next time.

The impeller of the wind Generator was continuously turned by the Second Grade Martial Artist, and through electromagnetic induction, kinetic energy was converted into electrical energy; that is to say, as long as the impeller was rotating, it could continuously generate electricity.

The electricity generated by the wind Generator, after being transformed by a transformer, became current that could be used directly. Meng Yifan very smoothly charged the electric baton and brought five 220V power cords into the cultivation secret room.

"Come! These power cords only have 220V low-voltage electricity. Wherever you want to be shocked, just place the wire directly there. Low-voltage electricity shouldn't hurt your source and can continuously transform your bodies," Meng Yifan said.

Zhang Butou was very proactive this time, directly hugging the power cord. The 220V current flowed through his body, shocking his soul body until it trembled incessantly, and wisps of black smoke rose from his body, looking as if he had been charred.

Jiang Tian and the other three Zombies also hugged the power cords to shock their bodies.

If anyone else entered this underground secret room, they would be surprised to find three Zombies trembling constantly, streaks of electric light flashing on their bodies, with some parts even shocked into flowing corpse fluid, while two balls of black mist nearby were also trembling constantly.

The five of them would let out a miserable howl from time to time, yet they were tireless. When they couldn't hold on anymore, they would let go of the wires to rest for a bit, then poke the wires back onto themselves again; they even got so into it that they took the wires and poked each other.

The miserable screams, the strange cackling laughter, and the sizzling sound of electric sparks were mixed together, and with the five non-humans trembling constantly, the scene looked very bizarre.

These five guys were heavy electricity users, but the two wind Generators Meng Yifan brought over had quite good power generation, enough to meet the electricity needs of all five of them.

Meng Yifan let them play with the electricity themselves and then ignored them. He took out the Nine Nether Evil Qi obtained from Zhang Sanfeng and the essence liquid obtained from killing the two Fourth Grade demon heads, preparing to re-refine the bodies for Zhang Butou, Jiang Tian, and the three Zombies.
